HTML5 & CSS3
What’s New in HTML & CSS: Shadows, Gradients, Transitions & More
HTML5 offers new flexibility, ease-of-coding, and other powerful new features. Similarly, CSS3 offers us more sophisticated properties and elegant solutions for styling and even animating elements.
Although the specifications for these languages have not yet been finalized, many modern browsers already support a large set of the proposed HTML5 elements and CSS3 modules. This class will show you a sampling of new techniques that you can use today in most major browsers.
Learn how to better structure your page content with new semantic elements, including native audio and video. Create drop shadows, text shadows, rounded corners, semi-transparent elements, and gradient backgrounds purely with CSS. New CSS Transforms and CSS Transitions let you produce simple animated effects without JavaScript or Flash (we don’t cover full-blown ad banner style animation in this class though).
This advanced level course is ideal for people who have experience coding webpages but want to learn what’s new HTML5 and CSS3. Knowledge equivalent to our Web Development 2 class is highly recommended, as is some experience with hand coding.
